respectively. In those cases where frost penetration is a problem, the maximum amount of
material finer than 0.02 mm in diameter shall be less than 33%.

The coarse portion, retained on a 2.00 mm (No. 10) sieve, shall have a mass percent of wear
not exceeding 40% by the Los Angeles Abrasion Test as determined by AASHTO T96.

The material shall have a soak CBR value of not less than 35% as determined by AASHTO
T193. The CBR value shall be obtained at the maximum dry density as determined by
AASHTO T180, Method D.

200.3 CONSTRUCTION METHODS

200.3.1 GENERAL
The sub-base course shall placed where designated on the plans or as directed by the
“Engineer”. The material shall be shaped and thoroughly compacted within the compaction
tolerance specified. Granular sub-base which, due to grain sizes or shapes are not sufficiently
stable or support without moving the construction equipment, shall be mechanically
stabilized to the depth necessary to provide such stability as directed by the Engineer. The
mechanical stabilization shall be principally include the addition of a fine-grained medium to
bind the particles of the sub-base material sufficiently to furnish a bearing as to strength, so
that the course will not deform under the traffic. The sub-base material shall not increase the
soil constants of the material above the limits specified.

200.3.2 OPERATION IN PITS

All work involved in clearing and stripping pits and handling unsuitable material encountered
shall be performed by the Contractor at his own expense. The sub-base material shall be
obtained from pits or sources that have been approved by the Engineer. The materials in the
pits shall be excavated and handled in such a manner that a uniform and satisfactorily product
can be secured.

200.3.3 EQUIPMENT
All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this work shall be available at all
times at the project site and shall be in first-class working condition and shall have been
approved by the Engineer before construction is permitted to start.

The contractor shall make provision for furnishing water at the site using equipment of ample
capacity and design to assure uniform application. The processing equipment shall be
designed, constructed and operated and shall have sufficient capacity to thoroughly mix all

38
materials and water in the proportion required to produce a sub-base course of the gradation
and consistency required.

200.3.4 PREPARING UNDERLYING COURSE

Before any sub-base material is placed, the underlying course shall be prepared and accepted
by the Engineer before placing and spreading operations are started.

Grade control between the edges of the pavement shall be checked by means of grade staked,
steel pins, or forms placed in lanes parallel to the center line of the pavement and at intervals
which will permit string lines or check boards to be placed between the stakes, pins or forms.

To protect the sub-grade and to insure the proper drainage, the spreading of the sub-base shall
begin along the centerline of the pavement on a crowned section or on the high side of
pavements with one-way slope.

200.3.5 MATERIALS ACCEPTABLE IN EXISTING CONDITION

When the entire sub-base material is secured in a uniform and satisfactory condition and
contains approximately the required moisture, such approved material may be moved directly
to the spreading equipment for placing. The material may be obtained from gravel pits,
stockpiles, or may be produced from a crushing and screening plant with the proper blending.
The material from these sources shall meet the requirements for gradation, quality and
consistency. It is the intent of this section of the specifications to secure materials that will
not require further approximation to obtain maximum density. Surface sprinkling or aeration
may correct any minor deficiency or excess of moisture.

In such instances, some mixing or manipulation may be required, immediately proceeding the
rolling, to obtain the required moisture content. The final operation shall be blading or
dragging, if necessary, to obtain a smooth uniform surface true to line and grade.

200.3.6 PLANT MIXING

When materials from several sources are to be blended and mixed, the sub-base material shall
be processed in a central or travel mixing plant. The sub-base material together with any
blended material shall be thoroughly mixed with the required amount of water. After the
mixing is completed, the material shall be transported to and spread on the underlying course
without undue loss of the moisture content.

39
200.3.7 MIXED IN PLACE
When materials from different sources are to be proportioned and mixed and blended in
place, the relative proportions of the components of the mixture shall be as designated by the
Engineer.

The sub-base material shall be deposited and spread evenly to a uniform thickness and width.
Then the binder, filler or other material shall be deposited and spread evenly over the first
layer. There shall be as many layers of materials added as the Engineer may direct to obtain
the required sub-base mixture.

When the required amount of materials have been placed, they shall be thoroughly mixed and
blended by means of approved graders, discs, borrows, rotary tillers, supplemented by other
suitable equipment necessary. The mixing shall continue until the mixture is uniform
throughout. Areas of segregated material shall be corrected by the addition of binder or filler
material and by thorough re-mixing. Water in the amount and as directed by the Engineer
shall be uniformly applied prior placing and compaction. When the mixing and blending has
been completed, the material shall be spread in a uniform layer which, when compacted, will
meet the requirements of thickness and typical cross section.

200.3.8 GENERAL METHOD FOR PLACING

The sub-base course shall be constructed in layers. Any layer shall be neither less than
75mm nor more than 200mm of compacted thickness. The material, as spread, shall be of
uniform gradation with no pockets of fine or coarse materials. The sub-base, unless
otherwise permitted by the Engineer, shall not be spread more than 1,675 square meters in
advance of the rolling. Any necessary sprinkling shall be kept within this limit. No material
necessary be placed in snow or soft, muddy or frozen course.

When more than one layer is required, the construction procedure described herein shall
apply similarly to each layer. During the placing and spreading, sufficient caution shall be
exercised to prevent the incorporation of sub-grade, shoulder, or foreign material in the sub-
base course.

200.3.9 SPREADING AND COMPACTING

After spreading or mixing, the sub-base material shall be thoroughly compacted by rolling
and sprinkling, when necessary. Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to adequately handle the
rate of placing and spreading track by at least 300mm.

The rolling shall continue until the material is thoroughly set and stable, the sub-base material
has been compacted to not less than 100% of maximum density or optimum moisture as

40
determined by the compaction control set specified in AASHTO T-180 and AASHTO T 99.
Blading and rolling shall be done alternately, as required or directed, to obtain the smooth
even, and “uniformly compacted sub-base”. The course shall not be rolled when the
underlying course is soft or yielding or when the rolling causes undulation in the sub-base.
When the rolling develops irregularities that exceed 12.5mm when tested with a 5.0m
straightedge, the irregular surface shall be loosened and then refilled with the same kind of
material as that used in constructing course and again rolled as required above.

Along places inaccessible to rollers, the sub-base material shall be tamped thoroughly with
mechanical or hand tampers. Sprinkling during rolling, if necessary, shall be in the amount
and by equipment approved by the Engineer. Water shall not be added in such a manner or
quality that free water will reach the underlying layer and cause it to become soft.

200.3.10 TRIAL SECTION

Before sub-base or base construction starts, the Contractor shall spread and compact trial
section as directed by the Engineer, to check the suitability of the materials and the efficiency
of the equipment and the construction method proposed. Same material, equipment and
procedure must be used as that proposed for use in the main work. One trial section of 500
sq.m. shall be made for every type of material and or construction equipment/procedure
proposed for use. Field density tests shall be conducted after compaction of each trial
section. If trial section shows that proposed materials, equipment or procedures are not
suitable for sub-base or base as evaluated by the Engineer material shall be removed at
Contractor’s expense, and a new trial section shall be constructed. Any change of the basic
conditions on the material or procedure shall require the construction of new trial section.

200.3.11 SURFACE TEST

After the course is completely compacted, the surface shall be tested for smoothness and
accuracy of grade and crown; any portion found to lack the required smoothness or frail in
accuracy of grade or crown shall be scarified, reshaped, compacted and otherwise
manipulated as the Engineer may direct until the required smoothness and accuracy are
obtained. The finished surface shall not vary more than 12.5mm when tested with a 5.0m
straightedge applied parallel with and at right angle to the centerline.

200.3.12 THICKNESS

The thickness of the compacted sub-base course shall be determined by depth tests or cores
taken at intervals so each test shall represent no more than 420 square meters. When the
deficiency is more than 12.5mm, the contractor shall correct such areas by scarifying, adding
satisfactory mixture, rolling, sprinkling, reshaping and finishing in accordance with these
specifications. The contractor shall replace at his expense the sub-base material where
borings are taken for test purposes.

41
200.3.13 PROTECTION

Work on sub-base course shall not be conducted during freezing temperature or when the
sub-grade is wet. When the sub-base material contains frozen material or when the
underlying course is frozen, the construction shall be stopped.

200.3.14 MAINTENANCE

Following the final shaping of the material, the sub-base shall be maintained throughout its
entire length by the use of standard motor graders and rollers until in the judgement of the
Engineer, the sub-base meets all requirements and is acceptable for the construction of the
next course.

200.4 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

The quantity of sub-base course to be paid for shall be the number of cubic meter of sub-base
course material placed, compacted, and accepted in the completed course. The quantity of
sub-base course material shall be measured in final position based upon depth test or course
taken as directed by the Engineer, or at the rate of 1depth test for each 420 square meters of
sub-base course, or by means of average end areas on the completed work computed from
elevations to the nearest 0.003 meter. On individual depth measurements, thickness plus

than the range of 30 to 50 and a softening point of not less than 90 oC (200oF).
Steel reinforcement, if any, shall conform to the specifications of ASTM
Designation: A615, Grade 40.

1.7.3 WORKMANSHIP

Formwork for concrete placing shall be constructed upon the prepared base
previously completed in accordance with the requirements of Aggregate Base
Course. Forms shall be smooth on the side placed next to the concrete and
shall have a true smooth upper edge. The depth of forms for back of curbs
shall be equal to the full depth of the curb, and the depths of the face of the
forms for curbs shall be equal to the full-face height of the curb. Forms shall
be rigid enough to withstand the pressure of fresh concrete without distortion,
and shall be thoroughly cleaned and coated with form oil to prevent adherence
of concrete. Setting of forms shall conform to the required dimensions and to
the alignment and grade shown on the drawings. Stakes shall be positioned to
hold the form rigidly in place and clamps, spreaders, and braces shall be
additionally placed where necessary to enhance rigidly in the forms. Benders
or thin plank forms cleaned together may be used on curves, grade changes, or
for curb returns. In constructing curbs, entrances shall be provided for
driveways, with dimensions shown on the drawings or designated by the
Construction Officer. Dowels and reinforcements shall be of the size, shape
and spacing shown on the drawings.

The curb and gutter shall be constructed in uniform segments not more than 5
meters in length, except where shorter segments are required to coincide with
the location of weakened plane or contraction joints in the adjacent concrete
pavement, or for closure, but no segment shall be less than 2 meters long. The
poured joint shall be formed by sheet templates that will give the required
joint thickness and that are cut to the cross-section of the curb or the combined
curb or gutter. The templates are set carefully normal to the line of curb and
to plane of gutter and held firmly in place until the concrete has set sufficiently

56
 to hold its shape. They are removed shortly after the curb face form is
removed, but before all the other forms are removed. Expansion joints shall
be formed with pre-molded joint maternal, likewise placed normal to line or
curb and to plane of gutter, cut and shaped to the cross-section of the curb and
gutter, and positioned at locations shown on the drawings.

Concrete shall be placed and consolidated in the forms without segregation.

Prior to the removal of the forms, the surface of concrete shall be shaped true
to grace by means of a straight edge float preferably 3 meters long, operated
longitudinally over the surface of the concrete. For clamps and braces shall
have been so positioned as not to interfere with the operation of this float.
Immediately after the removal of the front curb forms, the face of the curb
shall be floated and trowelled smooth. No plastering will be permitted and the
finishing shall be accomplished by simply floating the green concrete,
accompanied by careful wetting. Minor defects shall be repaired with mortar
containing one part Portland cement and two parts of fine aggregate. Corners
and edges shall be rounded to the radii shown on the drawings. Surface
irregularities in excess of 6 millimeters in 3 meters shall be considered as
cause for rejection of segment, which shall be removed and replaced without
additional cost to the government.

Removal of the rest of the forms may be done after 24 hours that the concrete
is placed, but proper protection shall be made by the Contractor to prevent
injury or damage to the finished concrete. After finishing and sufficient
hardening to the concrete curb or the combined concrete curb and gutter,
curing shall be immediately done by any method specified under Plain and
Reinforced Concrete. Backfilling next to the curb shall be performed and paid
for under the provisions of Filling and Backfilling.

1.7.4 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS OF PAYMENT

For purposes of progress payments, the quantity to be paid for shall be the
total length in linear meters of concrete curb and gutter, completed and
measured in place. Measurement shall be made along the face of the curb,
whether the portion being measured is straight or curved. No deductions shall
be made for flattening of curbs at entrances.
The quantity of curb or combined curb and gutter as measured above shall be
paid for purposes of progress payments only at the unit price bid per linear
meter, in which price and payment shall constitute full compensation for all
materials, labor, plant, equipment, tools and incidentals necessary to complete
the work. Inclusive of form work, concrete placing, finishing, shaping, curing,
joining, etc. Final payment shall not exceed the total amount for this work
item as shown in the Proposal Schedule.

2.1.5 EXECUTION

a. MIXING OF CONCRETE

Mixing of ready-mixed or transit-mixed concrete shall conform to

ASTM C94, and the requirements herein, and as approved by the
Construction Officer. The Contractor shall furnish a statement to the
Construction Officer for his approval, giving the dry proportions to be
used, with evidence that these will produce concrete of the quality
specified.

Ready-mixed or transit-mixed concrete shall be transported to the site

in watertight agitator or mixer trucks, which shall be loaded and in
excess of the rated capacities for the respective condition stated on the
nameplate. Discharge at the site shall be within 1 hour after the
cement was first introduced into the mix. Retampering, that is, mixing
with or without additional cement, aggregate, or water to the concrete,
which has, partially hardened will not be permitted.
Trucks shall be dispatched from the batching plant so that they will
arrive at the site just before the concrete is required, to avoid excessive
mixing while waiting, or delays in placing successive layers of
concrete in the forms.

62
 In the event the Contractor is unable to deliver mixed concrete to the
work site within the period specified above, a “Dry-mix” method may
be employed upon prior approval of the Construction Officer. If a
“Dry-mix” method of concrete production is to be used, water tanks,
water pumping and metering facilities required for addition of water to
the trucks upon arrival at or near the work site shall be provided.

b. FORMS

Formwork shall be adequately braced tied to prevent movement. All

shoring shall be periodically checked to ensure that member have not
been dislodged or loosened during concrete placement. No wooden
spreaders will be allowed in the concrete.

Forms shall be thoroughly cleaned before using and shall be treated

with non-staining oil or other approved material and allowed to dry
before placement of the reinforcement steel.

Molding or bevels shall be built into the forms to produce a 20mm

chamber on all exposed projecting corners.

Forms for walls shall have removable panels at the bottom for
cleaning, inspection and scrubbing-in of bonding paste. The size,
number and location of such panels shall be subject to the approval of
the Construction Officer. Alternative method for ensuring bonding to
previously placed concrete may be used only his prior written
approval.

Before form material is reused, all surfaces in contact with concrete

shall be thoroughly cleaned, all damaged places repaired, all projecting
nails withdrawn, and all protrusions smoothen.

c. PLACING OF CONCRETE

No concrete shall be placed until the forms, reinforcement steel, pipes

conduits, sleeves, anchors and other embedded items have been
inspected and approved by the Construction Officer. The Contractor
shall advise the Construction Officer of his readiness to proceed at
least 12 hours prior to each placement of concrete. No concrete shall
be placed except in the presence of a duly authorized representative of
the Construction Officer.

Pipe, conduits, dowels and other ferrous items required to the

embedded in the concrete construction shall be positioned and
supported prior to the placement of concrete such that there will be a
minimum of 50mm clearance between said items and any part of the
concrete reinforcement. Securing such items in position by wiring or
welding it to reinforcement will not be permitted.

63
Before depositing any concrete, all debris, dirt and water shall be
removed from the forms. The surfaces of previously placed concrete,
such as vertical or horizontal construction joints, shall be roughened,
cleaned of foreign matter and laitance to expose a fresh face and
saturated with water at least two hours before and again shortly before
the new concrete is placed. Immediately before the new concrete is
placed, wherever possible, all hardened surfaces shall receive a
thorough coating of neat cement slurry mixed to the consistency of
very thick paste at least 5mm thick which shall first be well scrubbed-
in by means of stiff bristle brushes. The new concrete then shall be
placed before the neat cement sets up.

Concrete which upon or before placing is found not to conform to the

requirements specified herein shall be rejected and immediately
removed from the work. Concrete which is not placed in accordance
with these specifications or which is of inferior quality, as determined
by the Construction Officer, shall be removed and replaced by and at
the expense of the Contractor.

Unless specifically approved in writing by the Construction Officer,

concrete shall not be placed in water or stay submerged within 24
hours after placing, except for curing, nor shall running water be
permitted to flow over concrete surfaces within 4 days after the placing
of concrete.

Concrete shall be uniformly placed as near as possible to its final

location in the forms. The placing of concrete in forms shall not
exceed 0.60 meter of vertical rise per hour. The spreading of mounds
of concrete with vibrators or by shoveling will not be permitted. Each
lift shall be completed with an approximately horizontal upper plastic
surface.

Chutes for conveying concrete shall be of metal, U-shaped and

provided with a baffle plate at the end to prevent segregation. Chutes
shall be placed at an angle of not less than 25 degrees, or more than 45
degrees from horizontal, and shall be kept clean and free from
hardened concrete. Maximum length of chute to b traveled by the
plastic concrete shall not be more than 1.50 meters. Chutes, hoppers,
spouts, etc., shall be thoroughly cleaned before and after each run, and
the water and debris discharged outside the Formwork.

Pumping of concrete will be permitted only with the approval of the

Construction Officer, and under the following conditions:

1. The Construction Officer will inspect the pumping

equipment and hose prior to placement of concrete. Any
equipment, hose, or appurtenances not functioning properly, or
which are otherwise unacceptable to the Construction Officer
shall be replaced before pumping operations are started.

64
 2. A fully operable standby complete concrete pumping unit
shall be available at the site during any pumping of concrete.

3. The minimum diameter of hose or conduit shall be 100mm.

4. Aluminum conduits for conveying of concrete will not be

permitted.

In the walls or columns of considerable height, the concrete shall be

placed in such a manner as to prevent segregation and accumulation of
hardened concrete on the forms or the reinforcement steel located
above the concrete mass. In no case shall the free fall of concrete be
permitted to exceed 1.50 meters below the ends of hoppers, chutes,
ducts, tremies, hoses or “windows” in wall forms, without special
approval of the Construction Officer.00

Where water stop type construction joints are provided, special care
shall be taken to ensure that the concrete is properly worked by rotting
and vibration around the water stops to produce watertight joints,
particularly in the case of horizontal water stops in slabs where the
concrete must be in complete contact with the underside surfaces
before any concrete is poured on the upper surfaces of the water stop.

Water stops shall be accurately positioned and securely held in place,

and shall be protected at all times to prevent damage or displacement.
Any damage to, or displacement of water stops shall be corrected by
the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Construction Officer.

d. TAMPING AND VIBRATING

During and immediately after depositing the concrete, compaction
shall be carried out by experienced operators using high-speed internal
mechanical vibrators. Care shall be taken to ensure that vibration is
continued long enough to produce optimum consolidation but without
permitting segregation of the aggregates or migration of air.

At least one vibrator shall be used for every 8 cubic meters of concrete
placed per hour and, in addition, two spare vibrators in operating
condition shall be available on the site.

Vibrators including suitable tamping bars or forked tools shall be

supplemented by proper wooden spade pudding adjacent to forms and
rodding around embedded fixtures to remove trapped air bubbles, and
to prevent honeycombing.

e. CURING AND PROTECTION

It is the intent of these Specifications and to obtain properly cured

concrete. The Protection basic requirement of proper curing is to
maintain continuous moist surface from the time of placing the
concrete until the end of curing period. All details of the Contractor’s

65
 curing procedures and materials used shall be subject to the
Construction Officer’s approval. The use of curing compounds may be
acceptable but shall require prior approval in writing by the
Construction Officer.

The Contractor shall protect all concrete work against injury from the
elements and defacements of by nature during construction operations.

All exposed surfaces including finished surfaces shall be treated

immediately after concrete has been poured, to provide continuous
moist curing for at least 7 days. Walls and vertical surfaces may be
covered with continuously saturated burlap or kept moist by other
approved means. Horizontal surfaces, slabs, etc., shall be pounded to a
depth of 15mm or kept continuously wet by means of sprinklers or
other approved methods.

Formed surfaces shall be thoroughly soaked with water at least twice

each day until the forms are removed.

Where finishing of concrete surfaces is performed before the end

curing period, the concrete shall under no circumstances be permitted
to dry out and shall be kept continuously damp by means of a fog spray
of water from the time the concrete has been placed until the end of the
curing period.

f. REMOVAL OF FORMS

The Contractor shall not remove any forms for at least 48 hours or
until the concrete has attained a strength of at least 30 percent of the
ultimate strength. This is equivalent to approximately 50 day-degrees
of moist-curing. Day-degree represents the total number of day’s
times the average daily air temperature in oC at the surface of the
concrete, e.g. 2 days at an average temperature of 25oC equals 50 day-
degrees.
Forms for beams and slabs shall not be stripped for at least 150 day-
degrees and supports shall not be removed until the concrete has
attained at least 60 percent to the specified 28-day strength and is
capable of safely supporting its own weight. Construction live loads
shall not be placed upon it until the concrete has attained its specified
28-day strength.

Forms shall be stripped such that they will not damage the concrete.
Notwithstanding the specified minimum stripping times mentioned
above the Contractor is ultimately responsible for the safely of all
structures.

g. REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE CONCRETE

Defective or honeycombed areas, as determined by the Construction

Officer, shall be chipped down to at least 25mm deep into sound

66
 concrete by means of chisels or chipping hammers. If honeycombs
around reinforcement steel, a clear space at least 10mm wide shall be
chipped all around the steel.

For areas than 40mm deep, the patch may be made for filling form tie
holes, etc.

Thicker repairs will required build-up in successive 40mm deep meters

on successive days, and each layer shall be applied with neat cement
paste as described in paragraph 2 above.

For very deep patches the Construction Officer may order the use of a
non-shrink grout, with or without the addition of pea gravel. The
materials shall be composed of 1 to 1½ cement/sand mortar without
non-shrink grout components to prevent rust staining of the surface.
After hardening, the patch shall be rubbed as for filling form-tie voids.

All exposed concrete surfaces and adjoining work stained by spilling

or leakage of concrete shall be cleaned to the satisfaction of the
Construction Officer.

All cracks that appear in the concrete prior to acceptance of the work
shall be “veed” and filled with sealant.

h. EVALUATION AND ACCEPTANCE

After the removal of the forms any concrete, judged by the

Construction Officer as defective and beyond repair, shall be rejected,
demolished and replaced with new concrete in a manner acceptable to
the CO. The evaluation and acceptance of concrete shall be in
accordance with Chapter 17 of ACI Standard 301.

i. INSPECTION

Installation of reinforcing steel, pipes, sleeves, anchors and other

embedded items, batching, mixing, transportation, placing, curing and
finishing of concrete shall at all times be subject to the inspection of
the Construction Officer.
No concrete shall be placed without prior notice to and approval of the
Construction Officer.

j. FIELD CONTROL
Sets of four (4) field control cylinder specimens will be taken at
random by the Construction Officer, in conformity with ASTM C31.
Generally, approximately one (1) per 50 cubic meters, but not less than
one (1) set per day will be made during concreting operations.

Two (2) cylinders will be tested after 7 days and two cylinders after 28
days. Compressive tests, in accordance with the Standard test

67
 described in ASTM Method C39, will be performed by a laboratory
acceptable to the owner, and paid directly by the Contractor.

The Contractor shall provide the concrete for the test cylinders and
such auxiliary personnel and equipment needed to take the test
specimens.

k. FIELD TESTING
Should the average strength of the 28-day test specimens be less than
that specified in Table A, the Construction Officer may require drilled
core samples from the portion of the structure which was determined
by him to represent the deficient 28-day test specimens.

If the strength of any of the drilled core samples is less than the
minimum requirements shown in Table A, the Construction Officer
may direct the Contractor to strengthen or replace the portions of the
structure concerned at the Contractor’s expense, and the Construction
Officer’s satisfaction

Drilled core samples shall be taken and tested in accordance with

ASTM C42 except that they shall have an L/D ratio of not less than
1.25 prior to capping for testing. All core samples so tested shall be
tested in a saturated state.

All costs associated with the cutting and preparing of drilled core
samples shall be done by the Contractor. Testing of the drilled core
samples shall be at the expense of the Contractor.

Slump tests, entrained air measurements, temperature, and testing of

admixtures will be made in the field by the contractor at his own
expense in the presence of the Construction Officer.
